Teaching Children to Observe

Sometimes the bulletin boards aren't where you want to go for a conversation about books for your child. Feel free to e-mail us (sally.bayless@ttmd.com or charles.bayless@ttmd.com) or give us a call at +1 (404) 881-8863.

We are happy to discuss what might be the best books for your child, how to build a personal library, particular authors/genres that might or might not be appropriate, etc.
